I'm thinking Rich is probably well aware of them.

Not yet.

My capo use is pretty much limited to learning new songs in a hurry from a recording in a different key. I take one to gigs in case there's a key change I don't want to cope with in the moment (still trying to get back to where I was on guitar that I didn't need to do that) but in ~10 years of playing have had to do that exactly once.

Why I bought the Pitch Fork pedal.

Cant replace a capo for doing setups tho... unless you bungee it to the neck.

Jeff suggested I try Dimarzios in my anemic 7ender PJ.

I recommend this as well. I have their standard PJ set, but definitely interested in the Relentless line as well.

Good to know! That bass is in line for some work. It has awful fret sprout. I’m hesitant to do it myself because of the binding on the neck. I may just get a set of pickups and drop it off at a reputable shop to install them and dress the frets.

I'm really curious about those Relentless ones. Especially for my Carvin. But although they have the adjustable pole pieces, the radius of them could look silly against the 12" or 14" radius of its fretboard.

I don't know. Quality cabs are designed for specific drivers. Finding a set of decent drivers for a box someone on Reverb once described as sounding like a cow farting isn't practical at all.

The adventure includes modding the box!

And?

I need to look into that. You happy with it?

I have no useful reply to this.

I was just going to say "That's what I'm here for." But I like your post much better.

We need video.

And?

I’m on Will time. It’ll happen when it happens.

I’ll skip the adventure and stick to Subway and Berg cabs.

The Tumble 22 playlist is rocking. From Procol Harum's Conquistador to Boston's Long Time. And beyond.

Jeff is right. Unless they changed.

But I will say Fender Vintage stye pickups (or whatever they are called) are pretty nice. But if you what it to come to life, DiMarizo will beastify it.

New installment in Rög's amp quest. I like the Boogie channel so far. I thought I won't like it, but the jury is in session. Still running it, I've been given license to take it on a gig, but I'm light on gigs this month. Maybe I'll bring it to the Thursday Open Mic next week...

The Schroeder 1210 is up on milk crates.

I know that's the proper way to do it, but I have never used a capo for setups on a bass or guitar in 40s yrs of playing and doing my own setups and some for others. Nor do a measure. When it feels right, it is right (for me).

Beef has more bass.

I will add that I have been working on a P-bass and put a set of GZR pickups in it and they sound fantastic. Definitely one to consider. Also, the install was a solderless kit and took about a half an hour. It was painless (no pun intended) and the instructions were super clear and the components were high quality.
